began moving up through the nation"s schools, it became clear that a new kind of culture was coming out.
Their achievements are made in the nation"s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering
departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is
partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the
US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by
the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics
and science because they will be judged more objectively (客观). And the money spent on education is more
immediately returned in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their
children should take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure
of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents
do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture, such as family value, the
importance of education and so on that lead to their success.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they could cause
the native Americans" unhappiness. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移
民) were unequally treated because of social separation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down
giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
B. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
C. they know little about American cultures and Western cultures
D. their English is not good enough
B. people with an arts degree are looked down upon
C. they can"t find a job with an arts degree
D. they can earn more money after graduation
B. still worry about unfair treatment in society
C. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
D. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B. Asian culture and a solid base in basic mathematics
C. hard work and parental help
D. hard work and a limited knowledge of English

within a fairly small mature estate community. Times have changed, and we now cover a far greater area and
children travel to the school from as far a field as Benwell. Parents now have the choice of selecting schools
for their children"s education and many parents choose Mead Vale.
We are a Community Primary School administered by the School Governing Board which is responsible to
the North Somerset Council Education Board. Present school roll is around 415 with space for 420 in total. We
are delighted that we were awarded "Beacon Status" in 2002 and are pleased to share our expertise with other
schools. Last year we had visits from as far away as South Africa and Spain. We are a primary school covering
ages 4-11 and on transfer from here parents usually choose Word Comprehensive, Priory Comprehensive or
Wyvern Comprehensive. We feel the advantage of a Primary School is the continuity of education from 4-11
and the greatly reduced trauma involved in moving schools from Infant to Junior or First to Middle at the age
of 7. We are convinced of the benefit of this and deliberately structure the school in phases at four levels:
Foundation: the reception year-a separate special early years curriculum;
Years l & 2: the first two years of the national curriculum- previously infants;
Years 3 & 4: the third and fourth year of the national curriculum-previously lower juniors;
Years 5 & 6: the fifth and sixth years of the national curriculum-previously upper juniors.
In each phase the children stay with the same teacher. It is likely that they will have only 4 different class
teachers during their seven years with us.
B. he is proud of the achievements the school has gained
C. he will let the children have four teachers each year
D. he thinks these seven years will reduce trauma involved in the transfer
B. Term.
C. Part.
D. Stage.
Mead Vale-M; Community Primary School-C; the School Governing Board-S;
North Somerset Council Education Board- N; UK-U
B. U-N-S-C-M
C. N-U-C-S-M
D. N-U-S-C-M
B. Have a "Beacon Status" award; carry on the continuity of education.
C. Carry on the continuity of education; reduce trauma involved in transferring schools.
D. Reduce trauma involved in transferring schools; divide the students into different phases.
in their sleep. 1.____ However, they have been valued as necessary to a person"s health and happiness.
Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century
that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person"s character. 2.____
He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable
in real life.
The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung"s compensation theory. Jung, a former student of
Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer.
3.____Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little
of themselves dream of being heroes.
Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a
mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 4.____ Until they reach age five, they cannot express very
well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The
dreams of men and women differ. For instance.
The characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.
The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand. 5.____ If you dream that a loved one is
going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to
die.
B. However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
C. They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.
D. It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.
E. Children do not dream as much as adults.
F. They think their mind is trying to tell them something.
G. First, there was Sigmund Freud"s theory.
complaining as well.
Scientists in the United States studied a group of 144 dental patients almost half of whom had red hair. They
found that the red-haired group were more sensitive to pain and as a result were twice as likely to avoid visiting
the dentist.
Previous research had shown that redheads were more resistant to the effects of local anaesthesia (局部麻
醉) than people with other hair colours.
The scientists say that this red-haired sensitivity to pain stems from the actions of a gene called MCIR. This
is responsible for the production of melanin which gives skin and hair its colour. In about five percent of white
people the gene is mutated (突变) leading to fair skin and red hair.
Researchers say there are some people with the gene in the brain and that this could affect pain sensitivity.
Professor Daniel Sessler from the Cleveland Clinic in the United States is one of the authors of the study. He
says the research is a considerable scientific breakthrough.
"Red hair is the first phenotype (表现某显性特征的生物个体或群体) of anaesthetic requirement in humans. And what I mean by phenotype is an external (外部的) characteristic."
"So suppose you are walking down the street and you see someone who"s a little older and a little younger-
that tells you nothing about their anaesthetic requirement. You see a man and a woman-that tells you nothing
about their anaesthetic requirement. But you see a redhead-aha! You know that person is going to require 20
percent more general anaesthesia."
From my own personal experience I would say that there is some merit to this idea. I have found that I have
had to ask dentists for extra anaesthetic in the middle of procedures.
Some dentists argue that a greater sensitivity to pain might actually benefit redheads and drive them to see
the dentist more quickly. In my own case I can prove that is definitely not true.
B. usually more sensitive to some painful things
C. just well-known for their good temper and strong pain sensitivity
D. good-looking with fair skin and red hair
B. The mutated gene leading to fair skin and red hair.
C. Some persons with this gene in the brain.
D. An external characteristic of a person.
B. someone"s gender and figure
C. someone"s teeth and the skills of the dentist
D. someone"s external characteristic
B. the results of this red-haired sensitivity to pain will be the same
C. the writer is a red-haired person
D. redheads have many benefits of being red-haired
and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A &
M"s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department
Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase the understanding of
research and its career potential.
Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science
and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts. Funkhouser says, "This is their chance
to learn techniques and do experiments they would never have a chance to do in high school."
Warner Erin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes.
His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria (疟疾) and
yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A & M differs from stereotypes. "It"s molecular (分子) science on the cutting
edge," Funkhouser says. The program broadened the students" knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City
hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They"re also paid $ 600 for their
work-another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing
and that research can open many doors.
B. high school students from different places
C. college students majoring in agriculture
D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
B. could often take part in the program
C. found the program useful to their future
D. showed much interest in their high school experiments
B. entered that college
C. paid for their research
D. found a way to make money
B. A Program for Animal Science Students
C. A Program for Medical Science Lovers
D. A Program for Future Science Lovers
girls" grades are unaffected. Boys do worse in English when there are girls in their class, researchers will say
today, contradicting the widely held belief that girls are always a good influence on boys in school.
Boys do best with "as few girls as possible" in English lessons at primary and secondary school, Steven
Proud, a research student at Bristol University, will tell the Royal Economic Society"s conference. But when it
comes to maths and science, both boys and girls at primary school achieve up to a tenth of a grade more when
there is a high proportion (比率) of girls in the class, Proud found.
Proud tracked boys" and girls" test results at the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16 in 16,000 schools in England
between 2002 and 2004 for his PhD. Boys consistently perform up to a tenth of a grade worse when they study
English with high numbers of girls as opposed to few or no girls, Proud found. The more girls there are in an
English class, the worse boys perform. This is particularly the case in primary schools, he discovered.
Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is a high proportion of girls in their class because they
realize that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate to
girls when there are more girls than boys in the class. Both genders perform better in maths and science at
primary school when there are more girls in the class because boys tend to disrupt the class more, he said.
Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University
of Buckingham, said girls started school with slightly better verbal skills, while boys started with a slightly
greater aptitude for maths.
B. boys can have good influence on girls in terms of English learning
C. boys and girls can make progress in English learning together
D. boys always fall behind girls in English learning
B. boys can do much better in science
C. both boys and girls do better in science
D. girls still do better than boys in science
B. provides further proof to Steven Proud"s study
C. agrees with Steven Proud exactly
D. gives a different explanation for girls" advantage at English
B. gift
C. chance
D. interest
